Parasailing

If you love adventure up in the air, this activity is the perfect one for you. You can experience being whisked into the sky while strapped in a seat covered by a colorful parachute.

It's one of the popular activities in Boracay, where riders, if done in the White Beach, can view the beautiful shoreline from above while being pulled by a boat. When we tried this, it was in Bolabog Beach so we can only see the blue water from above and the nearest island.

I know I have a fear of heights but I still want to try this because it seems enjoyable. I didn't feel any fear while we are being whisked up in the air. But my feet started getting cold when I see the boat that's pulling us is starting to become smaller.

The operator said we can just signal by rotating our arm if we want to be pulled down. I did it just after a few minutes after we were settled up in the air, but he didn't pull us down, maybe because the 15 minutes is not up yet.

I know it's safe because they use the steel rope to tie the seat to the boat but I still can't stop thinking what if it's suddenly got cut, and the parachute takes us away. We got the 3-seater so I wonder what it would be like if there's only 1-seater. But of course, it's just me because I have this fear, but for those who love heights this is a fun and exciting experience.

The activity is 15 minutes long and the regular price is Php2, 200 per person for Solo or 2 persons and Php1, 900 per person for 3 or more. A lot of companies and individual are offering this activity. But if you want to get a cheaper deal, you must bargain with them. Don't just grab the deal the first person gives you, look for others and ask for discounts.
